Ortega will face attempt of assassination charges in Washington, D.C. in federal court next Thursday. The man fired shots at the Yellow Oval Room, which is in the middle of the family’s living quarters, around 9:30 p.m. U.S. Park Police found an abandoned vehicle, with an assault rifle inside it, near a bridge leading out of the nation's capital to Virginia. The car led investigators to Ortega. Fortunately, the bullets were stopped by protective bullet proof glass. There is no official motive for the man’s actions except that he it is said that he is obsessed with Barack Obama and the date 11/11/11. Authorities and investigators are checking into the man’s mental stability.
